I’m trying to visualize the data generated by a 3D HD simulation in Pluto software. I try opening with any of the xdmf reader options and the first and third choice show a error similar to the log\_error.txt and in the second option the document its read but the data reads of 0 dimensions and no data its read as far as i understand.

Here is the xmf.  
[data.0000.dbl.xmf](https://discourse.paraview.org/uploads/short-url/3A4v85avUR42Jcko3RGWqKEkhMA.xmf) (2.6 KB)  
The data its bigger than 4 mb so i make it avaible from dropbox.

And this is the log i receive from the first reader.
